The Lyrics

Help! I think I’m stuck to the handle here! (Bummer.)
There are places on this here planet
Where you have to be alert
When you go there you have to plan it
I’m talkin’ about the desert

There’s a little rain or snow, you might ask yourself why
Something you should already know that deserts are always dry
Animals and plants have found ways to store water
And camels can go dozens of days even when it’s hotter

From Antartica to the Sahara
Just ask the snakes or the cacti
If they could talk, they should tell ya
Water’s in short supply, deserts are always dry

But don’t be fooled about the desert
It’s not always hot like you’re told
There are places on this here planet
Where you have to be alert

Or full of cactus, snakes and dirt, some deserts are even cold
But not a lot of water there, the main thing that I’m told
Animals and plants have found ways to store water
And camels can go dozens of days even when it’s hotter

From Antarctica to the Sahara
Just ask the snakes or the cacti
If they could talk, they should tell ya
Deserts are always dry, just ask Bill Nye

There’s a little rain or snow, you might ask yourself why
Something you should already know that deserts are always dry
Or full of cactus, snakes and dirt, some deserts are even cold
But not a lot of water there, the main thing that I’m told

From Antartica to the Sahara
Just ask the snakes or the cacti
If they could talk, they should tell ya
Water’s in short supply, deserts are always dry
From Antarctica to the Sahara
Just ask the snakes or the cacti
If they could talk, they should tell ya
Deserts are always dry, just ask Bill Nye

There's only one thing for certain here: these lyrics do not go to "You Oughta Know" at all. What song did you intend to put in the song title field?
